DIGITAL MULTI-SENSOR SYSTEMS - CALIBRATION AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Currently, the mapping industry is focusing on the implementation of multi-sensor systems for image acquisition and georeferencing. Small format digital cameras are of a particular focus nowadays, due to their numerous advantages and suitability for a number of low- to medium-class applications. Calibration is, however, a critical factor in such a multi-sensor environment. This paper is, therefore, dedicated to present the new developments in calibrating a multi-sensor digital system. The concept of boresight/camera calibration in airborne and terrestrial modes is presented. Data results and analysis of multiple data sets are also presented
